Is it good to drink sugarcane juice during pregnancy?

Question

It's so hot here and ganne ka ras looks so tempting on every corner. Im 6 months along. But thoda hesitant about the roadside hygiene and sugar. Do you all drink it?

Sushma Dash · Answer

Yes, it is good for hydration but make sure it is freshly crushed in a clean place to avoid infections.

Anindita Singh · Answer

Drinking it is fine, but street-side stalls are a big no because of dirty machines and flies. If you really want it, get the sugarcane home, wash it thoroughly, and juice it yourself or buy from a proper hygienic juice parlor.

Please be cautious with sugarcane juice. I had gestational diabetes and my sugar levels spiked badly. If you have any sugar issues, please ask your doctor before drinking it.

Saakshi Tanwar · Answer

I totally understand how much we crave that cold, sweet sugarcane juice during hot days! It is good for energy, but please make sure it is prepared very hygienically. Your health and your little one's safety are most important.

Sugarcane juice is very refreshing, ho na! But outside ice and unhygienic stalls can cause stomach infections, so be very careful. Try to get it from a clean place without ice.
